Used a picture of our Newfoundland "Saphira". Named after a blue dragon from book "Eragon". Avatar is too small to really see so put it below. Other picture is us taking a rest during water rescue training. She weighs about 125# and 'Newfs" are double coated so when wet they seem skinnier.

As to my Avatar, I wanted something unique and we had been chatting about muzzle blast so I edited a picture I had taken from some video I got one night of my M-38 Mosin. I like ad parodies and blammo popped into my head as a great name for a fake toy company so...there ya go.

Mine is only a representative of one of world's finest riflemen.

"They were the Leathernecks … the old breed of American regular, regarding the service as home and war as an occupation; and they transmitted their temper and character and view-point into the high-hearted volunteer mass which filled the ranks of the Marine Brigade.

—Capt John W. Thomason Jr.: “Fix Bayonets,” 1926, on Marines during WW I
